I see I have a competitor using MailChimp to send notifications from their bbPress forums such as notifications of new topics in a forum and replies to your post.
Both our sites also use BuddyPress.

I cant seem to find the exact plugin I should use.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

One of my websites has an average loading time, but I fear will bbpress increase the server load time?

Hi there,
Today I found here the forum some very useful code to help me change something as colores and sizes.
But there is a component I could’t change, that is the Forum-Title.
Is there anyone that can help with some simple css as how to change the forum title
I thank you in advance.

[hanifascraps]

Kind Regards,

Hi. Three years later, we actually find ourselves in the opposite situation as well. We’d like to convert BBPress topics/replies to standard posts/comments. Have you done that successfully?

[Marcus Quiroga]

Hi @corypina,

Why do you decide to do that? We are trying do the oposite. BBpress to CPT.

Could you share your experience?

Thank you

So I made a clean install of WordPress and bbPress (and then after a few test posts I installed buddypress which didn’t change anything) and made 2 users. When I @mention a user in the forum it links correctly regardless of how many spaces I enter. HOWEVER, it does always strip the leading spaces down to 1 in the presentation of the post. If I click Edit on the post the original number of spaces can be seen. Is this intended behavior?

I’m going to make the changes to functions.php to enable the visual editor and to enable buddypress @mention suggestions in bbPress visual editor (like my production site) and see if the error reproduces.

Hi guys,
I am just trying to setup my first bbpress forum. I would like to allow unregistered users to create new forum topics and replies. In settings, I have ticked the box Anonymous posting: Allow guest users without accounts to create topics and replies.

However:
1) When trying to create new topic as unregistered user, I am receiving error: “ERROR: Your topic cannot be created at this time.”
2) When trying to respond to existing forum topic as unregistered user, I am receiving error:
“ERROR: Your reply cannot be created at this time.”

Can you please advise what I am missing here? I am using WordPress 4.6.1 and bbpress 2.5.10

Thank you,
Lukas

Hi,

I’m using the latest versions of WP and bbpress to date. I created some forums and a private forum also using Private groups. Everything perfect. Only one thing: When a normal user (not allowed to see the private forum) is logged in, he can still see that there is another forum due to the link at the bottom that points to the next forum. Of course, when he clicks there, he can’t access it, but still he knows of its existence. Would it be possible to control this “next forum” options somewhere to disable them or, at least, those pointing to a private forum?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I have disabled every plugin except membership 2, bbpress and buddypress. I still have the same issue. I just found this thread and will try some of the suggested fixes. This thread is 3 yrs old, does anyone know why this issue would be cropping up again?

Slow down; you move too fast

Thanks in advance for the help! Linda @iempoweru

I want to switch the Top Five Topics widget on my site to a Topics With No Replies widget.

I think I’ve found the code referring to the Top Five Topics widget in functions.php – this looks like it:

function rk_top_five_view() {
bbp_register_view( ‘top-five’, __( ‘5 Most Popular Topics’ ), array(
‘meta_key’ => ‘_bbp_reply_count’,
‘posts_per_page’ => ‘5’ ,
‘ max_num_pages’ => ‘1’,
‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’ ),
false );
}

add_action( ‘bbp_register_views’, ‘rk_top_five_view’ );

And I think this is the relevant code on the page where the widget is displayed:
[bbp-single-view id="top-five"]

According to https://codex.bbpress.org/features/shortcodes/ the code for No Replies is:
[bbp-single-view id=’no-replies’]

So I’m guessing that on the page I just need to replace top-five code with no-replies…?

But what about the code in functions.php?

I found this on github:

bbp_register_view(
‘no-replies’,
__( ‘Topics with no replies’, ‘bbpress’ ),
apply_filters( ‘bbp_register_view_no_replies’, array(
‘meta_key’ => ‘_bbp_reply_count’,
‘meta_value’ => 1,
‘meta_compare’ => ‘<‘,
‘orderby’ => ”
)
) );
}

Is this what I need? Or should it start with function like the current code I posted at the top?

Please excuse me if I’m missing something obvious here – I’m just the website owner, not a developer.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hello All,

I would like to upgrade my bbpress plugin on a testing/staging server.
I do not want to reveal the existence of this staging server to any of my users however.
Is there a way to disable all notifications coming from BBPress?

Thank you, Malcolm

[iempoweru]

@robkk One more thing. I disabled all of the bbpress plugins but the main one, to see if there was conflict among these that would be causing the problem. There was not – still getting same message when a visitor is trying to create a topic or a reply. Thanks again for your help @iempoweru Linda

[DealL]

Thank you for the guidance. However, let’s say there is a new post with id #123 and I attach a bbPress topic to it id #456 (by attach, I mean replacing comments with bbPress replies)

Now, a grid that’s generated on the homepage is generated by the WordPress post #123. How will I ensure that the replies count of topic #456 shows in place of comment count of WP Post #123? How can that synchronization be done?

Thank you again

[visitor247]

Thanks for the answer.
I could switch off Auto-Embed in the settings and loading time will be fine, but SoundCloud and YouTube embed should definitely work.
The links to other messages are the problem, because bbPress loads every content of every linked thread without showing it.

[Robkk]

I added how to create status labels here. There is a way to create a hot label, but what I posted is just for a certain number of replies posted in a topic. Other forum systems use rating or number of replies in a certain time frame. So adjust as you please. Using the classes I have in the code you can style the label with CSS.

This is a possibly known issue that is theme/bbPress theme compatibility related.

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2966

To fix this place the content-search.php and form-search.php files from the bbPress plugin to your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

If you haven’t created a child theme create one.

https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/

https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

[Robkk]

Is it really just replace the underscores with spaces in this __@mention and it won’t work for you.

This is blowing my mind right now.

Did you do plugin and theme troubleshooting??

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started/troubleshooting/

[Robkk]

Are your forum posts still there?

This could a possible theme issue. I think bbPress could use a template (either content-search.php or search.php ) by accident from your theme.

Are you using a custom theme, you might want to create a child theme if so?

To fix this place the content-search.php and form-search.php files from the bbPress plugin to your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

The bbPress login/registration forms are buggy or have incomplete functionality.

I say use the default WordPress forms for your users, or use a frontend form plugin.

[Robkk]

This is a theme/bbPress theme compat issue. The template file that bbPress is inheriting for its display is making the pages display like that.

You will need to create a bbpress.php file from code that I will post later after I take a look at a free version of your theme.

Edit: Here is the file you can use.

Are you using the default bbPress login widget?

This widget options has fields to activate the lost password and register links.

As you can see I have integrated bbpress with buddypress and membership 2. These are almost completely configured to the way I want them.

The goal with the content on this free membership site is to make almost all the content readable, but to allow only users to post new topics or replies.

I have added one plugin at a time and test in between so I do not think there are any conflicts.

Matter of fact, everything is great except for 1 thing.

I do not want a non-logged in user to be able to post topics or replies. At the bottom of each of the current topics, there is a reply text entry field. If I log out and try to post a reply, I get this message:

“slow down, you move too fast”

So I either need to figure out how to change that message to “only logged in users can reply or post new topics” or something similar.

Or I need to know how to hide the reply text entry field for non-logged in users.

I have been through settings>forum as well as all the other plugins looking for the appropriate toggle to no avail.

I have combed the forums and google with no success. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Linda @iempoweru
